Belle & the Monkey: 2010 Delaware State Fair

I have decided that the fair should come in October. The end of October to be exact. I'm sure anyone who has attended the Delaware State Fair on a balmy July evening would agree with me. Gabrielle and Morgan are really coming into their own personalities. Don't get me wrong, they have always been their own little person but it seems the differences are becoming bigger and bigger. Morgan wanted to ride the thrilling rides like the roller coaster, tower of terror, and the kiddie Pirate Ship. Gabrielle preferred the more tame choo choo train, motorcycles, and boats (bikes and boats that mildly turn in a circle, mind you). I felt terrible because when we got home at 10 that night, I discovered that Morgan had a fever of 101.3. Well, that explains the grumpiness huh? She was sick for the next week, made two trips to the Doctor and missed her field trip at daycare. Thankfully, she survived and is back at daycare. They each keep asking when the Fair will return and when I tell them "Next July", I hear them singing a song about the months to figure out how long that is. Next I hear "THAT TAKES FOREVER!"

Uncle Adam took them to see the side shows

The Fun House. Now I knew this was a bad idea, but everyone said they'd do fine. Morgan did. Gabrielle did not. Three times she got in and got stuck and had to be led out. Their friends Jillian and Shea were in with them and tried to lead her to the end but she kept getting freaked out by the glass. You will see in one of the pictures, Shea is pushing her through.
